Yesterday, the US dollar weakened again against the major world currencies due to the growth of political risks. Some representatives of the Republican Party refused to support the bill to replace the existing Obamacare healthcare.
The pound remains under pressure amid weak data on inflation. According to the report of the National Statistical Service of Great Britain, in June the consumer price index fell by 0.3% to 2.6% (year on year).
The best results were demonstrated by the Australian dollar. The Reserve Bank of Australia reported that positive changes in the labor market will support and ensure stable economic growth. The growth of the AUD/USD quotations exceeded 1.5%.
Today, the majors can show mixed results. Tomorrow, the Bank of Japan and the ECB will make decisions regarding the further monetary policy.
